29 ~~INT. NEW YORK DELI-AFTERNOON~~ 29

Y/n is at the counter of a deli.

She is waiting there when Mary Jane walks in.

Mary Jane doesn't notice y/n.

She sits at a table and begins staring out the window.

A waitress comes over and begins talking to her.

She then walks away.

Y/n is still staring at MJ when a man begins talking.

Y/n jumps and turns around.

MAN
Hi, can I help you?

Y/N
Um, yes. I would like to order a BLT sandwich to go, please.

MAN
Okay, will do. It'll be out shortly.

Y/N
Thank you.

The man nods his head and walks away.

Y/n resumes staring at Mary Jane.

The waitress comes back and places a cup of liquid in front of MJ.

She walks away as Mary Jane takes a sip of it.

She continues looking out the window.

Suddenly, Peter walks by y/n without noticing her.

He makes his way to MJ.

Y/n quickly turns around, so he doesn't spot her.

Y/n begins listening to their conversation with her back turned.

PETER
Hiya.

MARY JANE
Surprised?

PETER
Very.

MARY JANE
Thanks for coming.

PETER
Everything okay?

MARY JANE
Uh...You might say so. This is funny. I'm not sure how to begin. You know how our minds play tricks on us.

PETER
Tell me about it.

MARY JANE
Well, mine did a real number on me. Some part of me heard what you had to say after the show that night, that you were different, but I didn't wanna listen. I was afraid to trust you. But...I've been thinking about it-

PETER
Listen...there's more for me to say. I...maybe rushed into things. I thought-

MARY JANE
Wait a minute. What are you saying?

PETER
I'm saying...I...uh...I thought I could be there for you, Mary Jane. But I can't. My mind was playing tricks too.

MARY JANE
Do you love me...or not?

PETER
I...don't.

MARY JANE
You don't. Kiss me.

Y/n's eyes go big.

PETER
Kiss you?

MARY JANE
I need to know something. Just one kiss.

Y/n turns around as MJ and Peter begin leaning towards each other.

Suddenly, y/n's danger sense starts going off.

She looks out the window and sees a car flying through the air, heading towards it.

She notices that Peter's danger sense is going off too.

Y/n jumps to the left right as the car crashes through the window.

Meanwhile, Peter has grabbed Mary Jane and they crash onto the floor.

The car hits the counter of the deli and stops moving.

Y/n looks through the broken window as Mary Jane and Peter stand up.

A thudding sound can be heard as things in the deli start shaking.

People outside start screaming.

MARY JANE
What's happening?

Dr. Octopus suddenly walks up.

Y/n begins scowling.

DR. OCTOPUS
Peter Parker. And the girlfriend.

Y/n suddenly runs up.

Y/N
If you want Peter, you have to go through me first.

Peter and MJ look at y/n with bewildered expressions.

DR. OCTOPUS
Or is this the girlfriend?

Dr. Octopus shrugs his shoulders.

DR. OCTOPUS
Doesn't matter. Either one will do.

PETER
What do you want?

One of Dr. Octopus's mechanical arms lunges forward, knocking y/n to the ground, and grabs Peter by the neck.

It then pulls him forward so he's right in front of Dr. Octopus.

DR. OCTOPUS
I want you to find your friends, Spider-Man and Lizard-Girl.

Y/n slowly stands up, a scowl on her face.

DR. OCTOPUS
Tell them to meet me at the Westside Tower at 3:00.

PETER
I don't know where they are.

One of Dr. Octopus's mechanical arms takes off his sunglasses.

DR. OCTOPUS
Find them.

Dr. Octopus then glances at y/n and MJ.

DR. OCTOPUS
Or I'll peel the flesh off-

He looks between MJ and y/n and settles on y/n.

DR. OCTOPUS
Of her bones.

PETER
If you lay one finger on her-

DR. OCTOPUS
You'll do what?

The mechanical arm holding Peter's neck pushes towards him and causes Peter to go flying backwards into a wall.

The wall collapses around Peter as he lays there on the ground.

Y/n starts running towards Peter while Mary Jane just stands there in shock.

Y/N
Peter!

Dr. Octopus puts his sunglasses back on as one of his mechanical arms pushes MJ out of the way, and she falls to the ground.

Another grabs y/n by the waist and picks her up.

Y/n begins squirming as Dr. Octopus leaves the deli.

Y/N
Hey, you eight-limbed freak! Let me go!

DR. OCTOPUS
Afraid not. Sorry.
